(The octet in this example has the correct rhyme scheme, but the sestet does not rhyme properly. The lines are too short, only five syllables each, and there is no "turn" between octet and sestet)

She was found to wilt

With words she scours

Ivory towers

The thick walls she built

Well tarnished with guilt

She hides , she cowers

In empty bowers

With her red wine spilt

She can never sip

And she has not health

She's buttoned her lip

She hears no one else

In walls ten miles thick,

she grieves for herself

Don't tell the world (This example has the correct number of syllables per line, but the rhyme scheme is not regular and the last two lines do not rhyme. Also, the author has created sentences which are grammatically wrong in order to facilitate the rhythm)

I behold thy love as beautiful thing,

In my wrecked heart, a pleasure garden,

Thy revered love, a blooming Eden.

A daisy tuft seasoned by bright spring,

Surging in moments that defeats waiting,

I behold thy words as a jeweled crown

On my worn pages of despicable frown.

And thy memory feeds my mind dying,

Daring couple disclose, but don't you tell,

About memoirs many encased and kept,

Say not thy chronicle, sweet as daisy smell,

Buried, not unseen to thy eyes except

Reveal not, the guarded stash of our love,

Lest a rational world desires to know! ! !

Escape From The Sad Heart (Here the rhyme scheme is regular, and there is a change in tone after line eight, although there are only five syllables per line with a regular -/--/ rhythm)

Sad heart please disguise

For I cannot hide

how I feel inside

Tears behind my eyes

My sad heart's capsized

Shipwrecked by the tide.

My thoughts start to slide

Into a sunrise

It's there I escape

Like a bird in flight

There I feel the shape

of ships in the night

On a lost landscape

far away from sight
